Apollo XXI

by Steve Lacy

Apollo XXI cover art

Stepping out from his role as the prodigious guitarist for The Internet, Lacy delivers a wonderfully breezy, lo-fi solo debut. The record playfully blends Prince-inspired psychedelic funk with modern, DIY bedroom-pop aesthetics, largely tackling themes of sexual liberation and his newfound comfort with his bisexuality. It earned a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
